First NLC Display Recorded in 2009?

[markt]

Nothing scientific here - just a bit of fun! All we're after is when you think the first confirmed display of the season will be. Feel free to share when you think we'll see the first display, or if you don't want others to know what you think remain anonymous! ;D

I reckon sometime between the 26th - 31st of may. Purely an uneducated guess as I enjoy a cold beer on this cloudy evening. I'm sure as this thread develops others will provide possibly more educated answers based on historical evidence of when the first NLCs were visible in previous years!

I'm not the most optimistic of people, but Im feeling lucky so i voted for earlier!, maybe the volcanic activity in canada might contribute to a early display, well actually there may already have been a display this link would suggest, although i think there must be some other explanation, maybe moonlight, or something to do with a launch that wasnt listed?

Wooo-hooo! Look's like my guess was right - tho it definitely was a guess and more luck than judgement!

Now, I just need to see some
